With this battle, Zhao Yuan’s reputation was completely resounding throughout Da Cai.
Even the Thirteen Cavalry led by him were all granted the title of Marquis, enjoying a salary of ten thousand households, and their military positions ranged from Xiaoqi Colonel to General of the Four Expeditions.
This can be regarded as the ultimate glory in the Da Cai Dynasty.
From the beginning of the dynasty to the present, only a dozen people have been able to enjoy a salary of 10,000 households due to their outstanding military achievements.
Now it has doubled directly.
Led by Zhao Yuan, the thirteen of them are also called the Thirteen Yuetian Riders.
It’s just that the other twelve people have received rewards, but Zhao Yuan himself has not done anything.
Everyone also knows that Zhao Yuan was awarded the title of Champion Marquis in just a few years, and his military rank reached the level of Hussars General, second only to the General.
The general is at the same level as Sangong and almost controls the entire Da Cai military.
If he wanted to raise Zhao Yuan’s status up again, he would only have the position of Three Dukes waiting for him.
As far as the title is concerned for him, he is already the highest-ranking Marquis Che, and he cannot move up any higher.
But Zhao Yuan’s contribution has already reached a shocking level.
The Northern Expedition lasted seven thousand miles and conquered the four kingdoms of Yuan Cha.
Almost all Da Cai officials speculated whether Zhao Yuan would break the precedent of Da Cai and win the title of King of the Opposite Sex.
The emperor was also very troubled by this.
After all, he also knows that since the founding of the country, Da Cai has never made anyone of the opposite sex a king.
Whether I want to set this precedent remains to be considered.
Zhao Yuan’s achievements are obvious to all he and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but Zhao Yuan’s only flaw is that he is too junior.
And he was not born into a Wangmen family, and he only had relatives from the Xu family that he could barely relate to.
The emperor was hesitant. The previous dynasty was destroyed because of the rebellion caused by his relatives.
If Zhao Yuanhuo, who is close to the Xu family, is awarded the title of king of the opposite sex, the entire Xu family will reach another level.
After a few years, there may be trouble.
After discussing with several civil servants, the emperor finally came to a conclusion.
The king of the opposite sex cannot be sealed!
Zhao Yuan’s official position and title remain unchanged, but the entire Fengxin County can be awarded to him.
But it was too late for the emperor’s edict to be issued.
The four kingdoms came back again. They joined forces vertically and horizontally, and supported millions of troops to destroy the country.
In three days, they swept across the entire northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Several military towns that were originally established were also attacked and fell into them.
Moreover, the people in these four countries are all people from outside the country. They are born barbaric and drink blood like hair.
In several important military towns, more than 100,000 civilian residents set up to provide logistical support were also massacred.
Moreover, the Yuancha people threatened that they would massacre cities wherever they went during this southern expedition.
As a result, Zhao Yuan had no time to worry about his own reward, so he led 30,000 cavalry all the way north.
He knew that the 30,000 cavalrymen he led could be considered the elite of Da Cai’s army.
But wanting to fight against the million-strong armies of the Four Kingdoms is nothing more than a dream.
Although the Thirteen Yuetian Riders are fierce, each one of them was cultivated by Zhao Yuan who spent a lot of effort, personally taught and taught martial arts, and was supplemented with massive resources and medicines.
It is precisely because of this that they have the powerful ability to run for seven thousand miles for a long time, be invulnerable, and have endless breath.
According to the memory in Zhao Yuan’s mind, the twelve people he trained have the strength of top martial arts masters.
Dealing with these ordinary sergeants is an extremely simple matter.
But they also have shortcomings, and that is the need for quick solutions.
If they fall into the vast sea of human waves tactics, they may not be able to kill many even if their physical strength is exhausted.
When they first harassed the troops of the Four Kingdoms, they were traveling at night, killing people and setting fire to them before leaving.
And to complete all this, it only takes half a stick of incense.
Moreover, the time of their invasion is variable, sometimes several hours apart, sometimes half a month apart.
They were like hungry wolves, biting tightly behind them, but they could pounce at any time.
But 30,000 cavalry were too bloated.
He couldn’t be as light and agile as before, so he could attack at any time.
But if it were a head-on confrontation, it would be like mantis trying to control a chariot.
Zhao Yuan also knew that these million lions were in charge, and although the thirteen of him had extraordinary strength, the old tactics were no longer effective.
Even if he kills hundreds of people at a time, he will not be able to kill all the millions of people.
They could just ignore the few of them and continue their southern expedition.
Therefore, he just asked the emperor to borrow 30,000 iron cavalry.
And these 30,000 people were all carefully selected from the most elite troops in Da Cai.
The target you choose does not need to be highly talented or powerful in martial arts.
When Zhao Yuan selected someone, he only had one condition.
That is loyalty that is not afraid of death!
In his hands, there is a martial arts that can be achieved quickly, and it can also quickly improve the martial arts of a soldier.
But the side effects are also huge.
Once you practice, your lifespan will be only ten years.
That is the “Pan Long Jin” in Xie Que’s memory!
Originally, in Xie Que’s memory, this was the martial arts practiced at the Dragon Guard Camp controlled by the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It can quickly enable warriors to enter the master realm.
However, this Coiling Dragon Army is not a martial arts technique, but uses special methods such as medicinal baths to cause huge poison to the practitioner’s physique.
This toxicity will continue to corrode the body of the practitioner.
Generally speaking, warriors who practice Panlong Jin can only live for about ten years at most.
Unless…find the legendary gods and Buddhas and worship them…
In Zhao Yuan’s mind, Xie Que was as afraid of worshiping gods as a tiger or a wolf.
But he didn’t think so.
If it can save the lives of these warriors who will practice the Panlong Army, then why not worship God!
…
The three armies marched for seven days and entered the boundary of Baishan Mountain.
There are abundant medicinal materials in Baishan, and you can find the powerful medicines needed to practice the Panlong Army.
But thirty thousand people is simply too many.
After Zhao Yuan thought about it, he left three thousand people to practice Panlong Jin, while the others practiced a joint attack martial art he created.
Able to gather momentum and shock the enemy’s mind.
In the next seven days, the four countries continued to penetrate deep into the hinterland of Da Cai.
During this time, the common people had already received the news and headed south, but the tragic massacre did not happen again.
On the other hand, Zhao Yuan, who was waiting eagerly, lost his voice.
Gongsun Huan, the great Sima and general, led Cai’s army of 600,000 and began to march north.
As a result, they were defeated steadily by the coalition forces of the four countries. In just half a month, they suffered 70,000 casualties.
The original idea of the four countries was to go deep into Da Cai for eight hundred miles, then return with the plundered resources and force Da Cai to sign an agreement.
But I didn’t expect that there were very few slaves, treasures and food plundered along the way.
After discussion, they decided to continue south.
As a general, Gongsun Huan wanted to take the lead, but he was hit by an arrow in the eye and lost one eye.
Just when he was desperate, Zhao Yuan finally returned again.
The 30,000 cavalrymen he led seemed to have been streamlined, and now there are only more than 2,000 people.
Of the three thousand people who were chosen to practice Panlong Jin, all failed because they were not suitable for the medicine.
However, the ratio of medicinal materials and methods for practicing Panlong Jin have been optimized through thousands of years of changes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the success rate is still very high.
At this moment, Gongsun Huan, who saw Zhao Yuan, had turned into a one-eyed dragon.
He didn’t like this young man.
After all, if Zhao Yuan wants to go further, he can only take away his position as general and transfer it to Zhao Yuan.
However, Gongsun Huan also knew Zhao Yuan’s abilities and did not dare to be too negligent.
Instead, he was treated to delicious food and drinks on the surface, and the military situation of the four countries was described in detail.
However, during this period, Gongsun Huan concealed the most important information about the armies of the four countries.
They have shamans.
The so-called shamans are the priests of the evil gods.
Nine out of ten people in the four foreign countries are also followers of these evil gods.
As priests of gods, even if they are just evil gods, they have powerful abilities that transcend mortals.
In Gongsun Huan’s mind, those wizards were almost as powerful as burning mountains and boiling seas.
Although there were strange people in Da Cai, he had never heard of such a powerful person.
What he had heard about was a place called Hexi Temple.
The monks among them are said to have profound magical powers.
Gongsun Huan had also seen that those monks could only drive wild beasts and spit fire from their mouths, which was similar to ordinary street jugglers.
But the wizards from the four other countries could blow up rain of blood out of thin air and corrode the armor and skin.
Just one face-to-face encounter, that frightening scene made Gongsun Han terrified to this day, and it still doesn’t stop.
There is even a wizard who can control the bodies of dead soldiers, causing Da Cai’s troops to fight against each other.
After several battles, Gongsun Huan no longer had the intention to fight.
I just want to persuade the emperor to cede territory and seek peace.
I also want to see this boy Zhao Yuan fall down in front of these wizards and lose his life. It is naturally the best thing.
In this way, his position as Great General Sima can be secure.
After obtaining information about the armies of the Four Kingdoms, Zhao Yuan led more than 2,000 people in front of Yangcheng in the north of the river, preparing to fight against the Four Kingdoms.
When the four kings heard that the Thirteen Yue Tian Cavalry, which had humiliated them in the past, were attacking again, they also mobilized their full strength to march south.
The Yuancha people had the greatest hatred for Zhao Yuan. They charged forward and formed a long formation.
Prepare to surround the Yuetian Thirteen Cavalry and form a strangulation force.
After all, according to subsequent analysis, these thirteen people retreated with one blow every time, which showed that they could not sustain a long-term battle.
Even if they use human lives, they will still kill these thirteen people.
But King Yuancha thought wrongly.
What they greeted this time were two thousand heavy cavalry, fully armored and armed with a ten-foot-long weapon.
Because these cavalrymen practiced Panlong Jin, although they were too pressed for time, they did not have the strength of the martial arts master level.
But they almost have the physical strength of an innate warrior, and each of them is capable of carrying a thousand pounds.
During this heavy cavalry charge, the Yuancha people suffered heavy casualties, and the 10,000 advance troops they brought with them were almost wiped out.
King Yuancha couldn’t believe his eyes.
I thought there were only thirteen such perverted people, but now there are another two thousand.
If there are such a number of people with such strength.
The Shikoku should not have taken a trip into this muddy water.
After all, thirteen people could kill them to a rout. Wouldn’t two thousand people be able to overthrow their capital city?
But King Yuan Cha was just distressed and not too panicked.
After he calmed down, he found King Jin who was also in the army.
And he invited a wizard from his hands.
This wizard, named Thangka, is a priest who believes in the “King of Human Skin”.
In order to invite this wizard, King Jin did not hesitate to find thousands of virgins in the country, peel off their skin and present it to thangka.
Within a month, Thangka sewn these human skins into a big drum.
He only needs to tap lightly, and the person who hears it will bleed from all the orifices.
When King Jin saw this, he was immediately astonished.
Although this human skin drum can’t tell the difference between friend and foe, as long as you put cotton in your ears, you can almost ignore the influence of this skin drum.
Relying on this leather drum, the Jin Kingdom also devoured a large number of tribes in recent years and became the dominant power in the north.
However, King Yuancha also paid a high price to invite this thangka priest.
His youngest daughter, only thirteen years old, was given to Thangka, who was over eighty years old, as his wife.
However, the Yuancha people are also extremely happy about this. If they become Thangka’s father-in-law, then Thangka’s power can also be used for themselves.
After the decision was made, King Yuancha asked Thangka to leave as soon as possible.
After all, within the time of burning incense, the two thousand cavalry led by Zhao Yuan had already launched three rounds of charges again.
Almost every round of charge resulted in more than 3,000 casualties.
Even some soldiers were so frightened that they abandoned their helmets and armor and fled.
King Yuancha knew that if it dragged on any longer, his army would be really disorganized and would no longer have the will to fight.
Thangka stood on the high platform and saw the two thousand cavalry from a distance.
After a moment, he turned around and said to King Yuancha:
“Your price is not enough…”
King Yuancha was suddenly shocked: “That is my most beloved daughter…”
Thangka still shook his head, but on his old face, his pair of cloudy pupils shot out two eyes that looked like poisonous snakes.
Seeing that the third round of charges once again broke up a military formation, but the more than two thousand cavalry still looked like they still had physical strength.
King Yuan Cha knew that he could delay no longer, so he gritted his teeth and said, “Master Priest, I am willing to marry all three of my daughters to you and serve you.”
After hearing this, Thangka nodded with satisfaction.
As soon as he patted the tattered animal skin clothes on his body, falcon-like wings suddenly sprouted from behind, but there were no wings on them. They showed layers of flesh color, mixed with blood stains, which looked extremely strange.
After the thangka soared into the sky and flew over the heads of the army, Zhao Yuan also noticed him at this time.
Although he has never seen the Taoism that exists in the world, he has heard that there are wizards in the four countries.
He looked at Thangka curiously, but Thangka took off the human skin drum that was as tall as a person on his back and hugged it in his arms.
Suddenly, the human skin drum in Thangka’s arms vibrated.
The energy and blood in Zhao Yuan’s body rose immediately, but quickly fell back under his control.
And the Thirteen Yuetian Cavalry who followed him were as fine as him.
The more than two thousand cavalrymen suddenly staggered around, with a little blood oozing from their mouths, noses and ears.
A huge sense of crisis suddenly surged into Zhao Yuan’s heart.
If this wizard is allowed to be here, these soldiers who have practiced Panlong Jin for ten years may not even be able to survive today.
And this is because these cavalrymen are in better physical condition.
If an ordinary person heard the sound of this drum, he would probably bleed from all his orifices and die on the spot.
Zhao Yuan looked at the Thangka perched high in the sky, took a deep breath, and took off the bow and arrow from his back.
He picked up his bow, set up his arrow, and shot towards the thangka.
Unexpectedly, an invisible barrier appeared in front of Thangka, blocking his arrow.
Following this arrow, Thangka also noticed where Zhao Yuan was.
He laughed evilly and stretched out his withered left hand slightly.
Zhao Yuan suddenly felt a little dizzy, as if he had spun around in circles twice.
But in an instant he was back to his original state.
Thangka’s expression suddenly became a little strange.
The next moment, just as he was about to beat the drum again, Zhao Yuan suddenly rose into the sky.
His feet dug a large hole nearly three feet deep in the ground, and it was in front of him in a blink of an eye. (End of chapter)
